The original game and its two expansion packs finally collected into one package.

The way of the Samurai is one of hardship and toil, but boy does it make for some bloody fun conflicts. Take Creative Assembly’s Total War: Shogun 2, one of their most critically and commercially acclaimed titles of all time that deftly captured 16th century Feudal Japan warfare in all its grisly detail.

Now gamers can experience the conflict and its two expansions with Total War: Shogun 2 – Gold Edition being announced by publisher Sega.

Containing the original game along with the Rise of the Samurai and Fall of the Samurai expansions packs, the Gold Edition will be available in North America from March 5th.

Europe and Australia get a slightly different deal, with all three titles plus previously released DLC (except for the Blood Pack) in a limited edition package that will be available from March 8th. And honestly, that beautiful little box has to be seen to be believed. Click on it below to view it in all it’s hi-res glory.
